We all face an artistic block now and then.  The question is how to over come that block and create again.

I, personally, try to find inspiration anywhere and everywhere.  I have many books on polymer clay and many booked marked websites.  If my blockage is really bad I will spend many years looking at what others have created and soon I find something that I want to try as well.

If that does not.  I spend sometime in nature.  I really enjoy making flower canes and working with them.  It is amazing how some of the canes can look like the real thing.  Although nature does make thing so much better then I could ever think of.

Another sure fire way for me to get over an artistic block is to simply pick up some polymer clay and go back to the beginning.  For me that is working on mokume gane.  That is one of the first techniques I tried and I fell in love with how it looks.  Soon more ideas seem to fly in my head.
